He added: “Our government has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland and it’s high time that America is made aware of what is going on in Ireland.

“What is going on in Ireland is a travesty.

“Our money is being spent on overseas issues that is nothing to do with the Irish people.

“The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country.”

Meanwhile, Mr Trump said he would speak to Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Tuesday about ending the Ukraine war, with territorial concessions by Kyiv and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant likely to feature prominently in the talks.

“We want to see if we can bring that war to an end,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One during a flight to the Washington area from Florida.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who confirmed McGregor was to meet the president on Monday afternoon, said the administration could not think of a “better guest to have with us on St Patrick’s Day”.

However, Taoiseach Micheal Martin later said McGregor’s claims were “wrong”, and did not reflect the views of the Irish people.

He posted on X: “St Patrick’s Day around the world is a day rooted in community, humanity, friendship and fellowship.

“Conor McGregor’s remarks are wrong, and do not reflect the spirit of St Patrick’s Day, or the views of the people of Ireland.”

The MMA fighter was welcomed to the US president’s official residence today, telling reporters in the West Wing that he was going to voice concerns about immigration issues in Ireland when he spoke to Mr Trump.
